Donation Policy

We know that charitable donations are part of being a good neighbor and we are proud that Heinen’s annual donations compares quite favorably to similar size companies.

Because we are a very visible member of many area communities, Heinen’s receives thousands of donation requests annually. In order to review the many types of requests, we have developed criteria and a procedure to help us best serve those in need of our assistance.

Please take a moment to review the outlined criteria for a donation:

Heinen’s will only donate to non-profit (501-3C) charitable organizations that are located in the general Cleveland, Ohio and Chicago, Illinois areas

Heinen’s supports over 450 local schools through our Teaming Up For Education Program which is a Tasteful Reward member benefit. Tasteful Reward members can select an area school and Heinen’s will donate up to 1% of their eligible purchases from September through April each school year to the chosen school. A donation is sent to qualifying schools every May

Heinen’s donates small amounts of money or product to a large number of qualifying local organizations and larger monetary amounts to only a small, select group of local organizations

Heinen’s does not donate to individuals for their pursuit of personal goals or tragedies. Instead, we give to supporting organizations that in turn help those in need.

All donation requests must be in writing, preferably on the organization’s letterhead, include your Heinen’s Preferred Customer Card number and mail or fax the request to:
